I attended the JAG 2024 Conference with anticipations of acquiring information particularly about new products from suppliers and of course the workshops. Checking in was smooth and efficient unlike some previous years. My complaint was the printing on back of the badges for the workshops. It was difficult for this old guy to read. I understand the cost of printing can be prohibitive. Since COVID the conference has gone from 3 days to 1 full day. Costs have escalated and vendors are doing less events and thus there are fewer exhibits. Only the major JAG sponsors seem to be exhibiting and many are looking for buyers rather than browsers.

TelVue was thrilled to engage with so many of you at this year’s JAG conference. We are proud again to be the conference Diamond sponsor and the technical partner supporting JAG’s Internet Channel and Shared Server. The one-day conference featured an expanded number of sessions. Based on the strong attendance, the conference committee did a fantastic job selecting relevant topics. TelVue was honored to participate in multiple sessions, including Beyond Cable, Closed Captioning and the annual TelVue User Group.

My role as JAG Treasurer entails many duties: some interesting, some tedious, but all important and integral to the functioning of JAG. The most visible and exciting is welcoming attendees at the annual JAG Conference. Assisting and answering questions is of great value to our members. It’s also rewarding to me in several ways.

Planning the JAG conference is like staging a high school musical. You and your colleagues work all year long on the musical (read “conference”), and all the events you’ve planned come and go so quickly that you barely have a chance to appreciate your hard work. That’s how I feel about this year’s JAG Conference and Awards dinner. While admittedly the day is a blur to me, I do remember some of the highlights and I have talked to lots of people who attended workshops that I could not so, by way of full disclosure, this article is based on personal observations and what I have heard from others.

Even though our conference is still about 4 months away, your conference committee has already been busy planning another informative and entertaining event for all JAG members. This year’s conference is scheduled for May 16th and once again it will be held at the Crowne Plaza in Edison, so mark your calendars now! The conference will be followed that evening by a gala celebration where we will present the JAG Awards for excellence in production for 2023.
The JAG Conference Committee has begun meeting. We have elected the officers of the committee: Bob Duthaler, Chair, Rick Gearhart, Secretary and Linda Besink, Treasurer. The first items discussed were establishing the costs to attend, developing a schedule of events, and creating a list of potential sessions. Panelists will include representatives from NATOA, the ACM and JAG’s Organizational Members.
Myself and two others of the C-NET staff were fortunate enough to be able to attend the 2023 JAG Conference in Edison, New Jersey. This was, for all practical purposes, the return to in-person conferences for JAG, after a fully remote conference in 2021 and a “hybrid” conference in 2022. Gathering together in person was as exciting and satisfying as I had hoped.
